Default truss straps?
Never seen these used before on a MFG home? Any ideas? Inspected four of these and each had these straps.

Kevin:

Have never seen this type of roof on a manufactured (mobile) home. Have seen this type on a modular home.

Roof lies flat during transit and is lifted up ridge board(s) installed and fastned.

It keeps them in place when lifting the roof.
